Absolutely shocking, one of the greatest upsets in World Cup History.

Argentina is the reigning Copa América champion with a 36 game winning streak and the second highest betting odds to win it all for what may be Messi’s last international tournament.

And they lost to Saudi Arabia a team with a World Cup record of 4-11-2. Historic choke

There’s still Giroud dude. He must more important than Benzema, the latter just not fit with the team compare to the former

We were convinced the goalie took out one of his own men to burn through some of the stoppage overtime.

Backfired on them, since it extended out to a full 14 mins overtime.

You love to see it, even though I do hope Messi gets the chance to lift the trophy

Mexico played well against the big dogs recently. Probably the best 0-0 draw vs Brazil and straight up beating Germany. I like their chances

Yeah I sure didn’t go into that match a Saudi fan, but by the end of it I was on the edge of my seat for them.

Everyone talks about the goals they got, but that goalie saved tens times as many of Argentina’s from going in. The Daigo Parry of this World Cup.
